Gang:

  

 To make wing closing and final assembly easier, and perhaps necessary  future maintenance, I am planning put a Molex connector in the aileron trim  cable.  My idea would be to leave enough attached to the aileron to come  into the wing and make a small maintenance loop, then the connector.   Connector will be accessed through the same panel as the bellcrank.

  

 Anyone see any problem with this approach?

Another approach is to  not run the wire inside the wing. I have seen it run up under the top skin along  the rear spar between the spar and the aileron/flaps. I think this was on  Dragonfly Aviation's 601XL. They may have done this if the trim was a retrofit  and the couldn't/wouldn't open the  wing..

None at all Andy. It will give you peace of mind  vis a vis repair / replacement a any future point of need.The electrical amp  hours are so minimal for a tim servo that an aditionla connector is not likely  to have a down side except to lock the halves together before buttoning up that  area.

It should work OK, at least I hope so, because I am doing basically the same thing.  I am using a 9-pin d-sub connector as suggested by Bob Nuckhols.  



Good luck,
